Chapter 294: Adjustment and Non-Adjustment

"Yan Min's cross! Great chance! Aubameyang header...... Thibaut Courtois, who made a world-class save...... Wait, the ball hasn't gone out yet, and there's chaos in front of the goal...... The ball is in, the ball is in!!" He Ping shouted excitedly. "In the confusion, I don't know who made the first kick and the football flew into the Atletico Madrid goal! Borussia Dortmund took a 2-0 lead at their home stadium!

He Ping was worried that there would be retribution for wasting the opportunity, but now he has thrown all these worries out of the clouds.

As the ball flew into the goal, Klopp and his colleagues jumped from the dugout again and celebrated wildly.

Their tactics worked!

Scored two goals in the opening 14 minutes for Atletico Madrid, which is simply fantastic!

This is already the best start they have ever envisioned!

Meanwhile, next door to them, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone's face is even more ugly.

They conceded one goal in the opening three minutes and two goals in the opening fourteen minutes...... Such a situation was something he had never expected.

He envisioned his side conceding on the road, and possibly even on the road, but he never imagined it to be so bad.

This "iron army" built by himself is so vulnerable at Dortmund's home turf!

It seems that both goals conceded were due to lack of good luck, but Simeone does not dare to blame bad luck for all the problems now, and if he still thinks so, then he will not be able to lead Atletico Madrid to such results.

With a dark face, he reviewed the two goals of Dortmund just now, as well as the attacks that they did not score, all in his mind.

It didn't take much time, and he figured it out before the Dortmund players were even finished celebrating.

In response to their own high pressing, Dortmund adopted the tactic of fast passing and cutting, using the fastest pass and running to make Atletico Madrid's pressing ineffective. Because no matter how much you run, you can't always outrun football. Borussia Dortmund can fully mobilize Atletico Madrid's defence as long as they keep the football running.

At the same time, the Atletico Madrid players are constantly pressing forward, which also creates a lot of space behind them.

These two goals were actually lost because there was a gap in the defense, which was caught by Dortmund......

He suddenly realized what the "secret weapon" Klopp and Zhou Yi kept saying before the game......

Isn't this their secret weapon against Atletico Madrid?!

It's just that this secret weapon is too unexpected, Dortmund will play this way, Simeone knows, and it is not the first time he has played against Dortmund, so he naturally studied Dortmund and knew that Dortmund had played such a tactic.

It's just that he feels that this style of play is very demanding for everyone in the team, and it is impossible to perform it if the whole team is not in particularly good shape. With Dortmund in such a mess this season, they are unlikely to risk this tactic, otherwise they would be likely to play themselves to death before they succeed......

How did you think that Klopp really did it, and he did it!

People say Jurgen Klopp is a crazy manager, and now it seems that he has lived up to his name......

Now that you have figured out the crux of the problem, it is of course time to make adjustments.

The opponent's fast passing tactics are mainly played after Atletico Madrid's forced grab, so it is easy to contain them, and it will be over if you don't force your side.

If you have already conceded two goals, if you continue to press, you will probably continue to concede goals. If you lose by a big score and return to your home stadium in the second leg, this game will not be good......

Simeone is already thinking about the second round.

Now we have to defend solidly and not concede any more goals. Then there are more than 75 minutes left to play, and with enough patience, there is still a chance to score.

This game has been achieved at this point, Simeone does not think about winning, if there can be an away goal and no more goals conceded, then the score of 1:2 is not unacceptable.

With an away goal and just one goal behind on aggregate, Atletico Madrid will surely turn the tables with a strong home advantage.

The most important thing is that in the second round of the game, Dortmund really has no secrets at all, they have already played their biggest hole cards, and in the next round, Atletico Madrid will definitely make corresponding arrangements, the same trick can't be used twice against Saint Seiya, right?

So as long as the first leg is not lost by a large score, then Atletico Madrid can still have the upper hand in the second leg.

※※※

While the Dortmund players were still celebrating, Simeone stood on the sidelines and called Gabi to give him a face-to-face lecture.

Naturally, this move did not escape the eyes of Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp.

When he saw this, he knew what Simeone was going to do.

Everyone is not stupid, such a simple thing is a guess.

Although Simeone understood it in fourteen minutes and adjusted accordingly.

But Klopp is already satisfied.

After all, in these fourteen minutes, Dortmund scored two goals to take a 2-0 lead.

Next, when Atletico Madrid no longer insist on pressing high, Dortmund can also slow down the tempo and slowly maneuver with them.

In fact, Simeone's adjustment can be regarded as a relief for Klopp.

With Dortmund's current personnel state and physical fitness, it is really impossible to stick to this kind of tactic for the whole game, and it is difficult even for most of the half.

So if Atletico Madrid doesn't adjust, he can't let the team continue to play like this, at most thirty minutes later, he must slow down the pace and change to the usual tactics, otherwise the physical overdraft is overdrawn, the team will collapse, and even if the lead is two goals, it will not be able to hold.

Despite seeing Simeone's adjustments, Klopp didn't yell on the sidelines to remind his players to pay attention.

He believed that after Zhou Yi saw the changes in the other party, he would also make adjustments accordingly. Leave this kind of thing to Zhou Yi to deal with.

※※※

When Zhou Yi and his teammates finished celebrating and returned to their own half, the Atletico Madrid players were all in their positions.

Although they conceded two goals, they were guided by the manager for the first time, and there was no panic in their hearts. Because they know what to do next. In fact, many times in the game, one player plays very badly, and after losing the ball, he makes mistakes again and again, most of which are caused by not knowing what to do next.

Don't look two goals behind at the moment, but there's still a lot of game time and the manager has already told them what to do next. Defend solidly, then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and be able to score a goal, it's a job done.

After the restart of the game, Zhou Yi quickly noticed the change.

Although the players of Atletico Madrid are still pressing, the intensity of the pressing is not as strong as before. Previously, they were able to press all the way to Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

But now as soon as kick-off, Dortmund passed the ball back and when it fell to the back, the Atletico Madrid players didn't even come up.

It stands to reason that in this case, Dortmund should also slow down and slowly negotiate with Atletico Madrid.

Anyway, now they're two goals ahead.

But Zhou Yi didn't plan to do it.

Slow down, that's what Atletico Madrid want, and if Dortmund slow down, it's right in the hands of Atletico Madrid.

The fast passing and cutting tactics are indeed very physically demanding, but now that the game has only started for more than ten minutes, Dortmund's physical fitness is far from the time when the gas is exhausted.

So Zhou Yi decided to continue to stick to his current style of play.

He is not worried about Atletico Madrid's shrinking defense.

Let's not say that Atletico Madrid doesn't really shrink the defense, even if it does shrink the defense, the fast pass cut also has the ability to break the defense.

So he didn't repeatedly fall in the backfield and wait for the Atletico Madrid players to press up, but directly sent the football to the front.

It's still a quick pass and a run.

And he kept waving his hand, asking his teammates to press up, especially the full-backs on the two wings, to press up.

The teammates have a lot of trust in Zhou Yi, although they have also seen the changes in Atletico Madrid, but Zhou Yi asked them to press, then press.

The two full-backs, Piszczek and Durm, both obediently pressed forward, and the whole team remained in that tight formation, seemingly unafraid that Atletico Madrid would take the opportunity to play behind them on the counter-attack......
